‍SPOTLIGHT on Dawn Elmer - crowdcast

“I learned that music affects each person uniquely and what I consider soothing may not be that for other people. I always thought using music that matches the desired emotion was all that was needed. I am more aware of what music I listen to on a daily basis and value most the concept of using music to match emotions and using a sequence.”- Dawn Elmer, business owner

"I am reminded of the power of music and how quickly it can help shift mood.”

“The anapestic beat concept gave words to what I felt intuitively.”

“It was interesting to learn how there can be physiological responses to music as well that match the behavioral and emotional changes.”

“I need to consider more carefully what genres or styles are right for the given situation, not just my own personal preferences.”

“I am curious and excited to practice what I learned in this course to be able to shift my mood throughout the day to bring more peace and joy to my life and enhance my self-care routine.”

“I will promote music as an excellent therapy tool when used in the proper sequences with the right intention.”

“This course helped reinforce that it is very important to check with office mates and others that share your workspace to ensure audible music is agreeable to all parties!”

“I am excited to use ‘stronger’ music to help release emotions within a sequence and love how cathartic it feels.”

“I really liked that I got tools using the Key2MEE music app to think about the music that's around me all the time in my work, in the media I consume, and in my own listening.”

“When you can better understand the messages the music is communicating and how it resonates with you or could resonate with others, you can make more informed decisions on how to use it.”

“I love making playlists, it's almost a hobby for me. In the past, I've made playlists that are all one mood so that when I feel that way I can listen to that playlist and just feel all my feelings. I've come to learn through this training that while it's good to start with that music it might trap me in the mood I want to get out of, learning about Chronic Comfort Zones.”

“I've learned that because music is such a powerful way to express emotion, it can be used as a tool to help people understand their emotional lives and the emotional experiences of others.”

“If I know someone's struggling with their mental health, I want to be ready to offer information about how music can affect people and emphasize the emotional content of music and how listening habits impact wellbeing with my students and others in my community.”

“I have mentioned this process to some adult family members, and they are interested in how it could work for them.”

“I love the research basis and findings from so many referenced projects.”

“I once thought that music I was listening to was helping me feel more positively but discovered some of it was entraining me in an unsettled mood. I had significantly undervalued the power of music.”
